What happens when supporting your kid’s horse dreams sparks your own?

In this episode of Broke Horse Moms, Angie sits down with fellow horse mom (and rider!) Jen Nelson, co-founder of Armor Equestrian, to talk about carving out your own joy in the horse world, even when the sport starts as “just your kid’s thing.”

Jen shares:

• How her daughter Taylor’s first lesson turned into a lifelong mother-daughter bonding experience
• What it’s really like to lease a horse vs. buy one (and how Roh-Bear came into their lives)
• Why she decided jumping wasn’t for her, and how to find what you love most about riding
• The truth about balancing show costs, point chasing, and family budgets
• How Armor Equestrian was born out of barn heartbreak and became a brand that brings sparkle, fun, and joy back into riding
• A hilarious first installment of our new segment: Trainer Truth Bombs

Whether you’re considering a lease, wondering how other moms afford the show circuit, or simply looking for permission to find your own barn-time joy, this episode is packed with real talk (and plenty of laughs).
